Collaborative Structure Solutions 

X-ray crystallographic determinations are carried out for a minimal charge for academic institutions in the USA, especially primarily undergraduate institutions and those lacking X-ray equipment. Chemists seeking X-ray structures should contact me directly for relevant charges.

Arrangements can be made for academic collaborators and their students to participate in the structure solution process. This can include operation of the instrument during a visit to the College and use of software to solve and refine data sets and/or to draw publication-quality illustrations of structures. Please contact me if you wish to pursue these options.
